Cyber Crime: A Clear and Present DangerCenter for Security & Privacy Solutions |
The rise of the sophisticated cyber criminal has become one of the fastest growing security threats to organizations and to citizens.
The CSO 2010 CyberSecurity Watch survey shows that cybercrime threats to organizations are increasing faster than they can combat them. The issue – attackers are becoming smarter and using more sophisticated malware, viruses and techniques that have outpaced traditional security models and many current signature-based detection techniques. And, it looks like this gap is only going to widen as cyber criminals build more complex and innovative threats.
Adding a layer of complexity to this issue, is the rise of social networking and online communications, online financial transactions, organized crime extending into cyber space, and the unfortunate motivation of economic hardships all over the world.
Improvements to address your cyber vulnerabilities can start with thinking about cybercrime differently. Comprehend the seriousness of threats to your data, processes and tools; shift from a security-based to more of a risk-based approach to cyber security, and finally, knock down the siloes across the enterprise. Share and combine security practices across your organization.
